Private Lands Initiative

Private Lands Initiative/PLOTS

The Department’s Private Land Initiative is the primary mechanism for applying the Department's mission onto the private landscape of North Dakota.

The Private Lands Initiative has three main goals:

• Conservation of habitats for fish and wildlife populations
• Provide landowners interested in wildlife conservation with cost share assistance for developing and protecting habitat
• Provide the public with opportunities to access fish and wildlife resources on private land (via PLOTS)

Partners for Habitat

The Meadowlark Initiative taps into the collective insights, resources and efforts of conservation, agriculture and industry partners to enhance, restore and sustain native grasslands in North Dakota.
